Partnerships and Collaborations
Intellect was present at the SCUDD Conference on the theme of Partnerships and Collaborations which took place the University of Glasgow 15th -16th April 2011.
Maosud Yazdani, chairman of intellect took part in a panel discussion on The Futures of Publishing along with Victoria Cooper (Cambridge University Press) and Talia Rodgers (Routledge). Toni Sant (University of Hull), the author of Intellect book Franklin Furnace & the Spirit of the Avant-Garde responded to the publishers' presentations and launched his book at the conference.
The highlight of the conference was the panel on the forthcoming UK government's Research Excellence Framework. Professor Maria Delgado, Chair of sub-panel 35 (Music, Drama, Dance and Performing Arts) explained the evolution of RAE2008 into REF2004. Stella Hall, "user representative" panel member also explained the new dimensions of 'environment' and 'impact' that have been introduced in the way the UK government plans to assess academic excellence.

The Exile of Britney Spears reviewed in the HuffPost
Have a read of Cathleen Falsani's intriguing review of Christopher Smit's book The Exile of Britney Spears: A Tale of 21st Century Consumption.
'Three years ago, the Associated Press had written Britney Spears' obituary. Just in case.
Spears was 26 and seemingly mid-freefall in an epic tumble from grace. A divorce. A custody battle. Barefoot trips into gas station bathrooms. Tattoos and Cheetos and Big Gulps. Strange wigs, bizarre accents and even stranger company.
And that was before she shaved her head.'

What is Film Matters?
Film Matters is an exciting new film magazine, celebrating the work of undergraduate film scholars. It is published four times a year, by students and for students, and each issue contains feature articles, as well as a healthy reviews section. In addition, with an undergraduate audience in mind, Film Matters will include occasional service-oriented pieces, such as profiles of film studies departments, articles that engage the undergraduate film studies community and prepare students for graduate study in this field, and resources and opportunities that undergraduate scholars can pursue. In an effort to give undergraduate scholars real-world, applied learning experiences, all Film Matters feature submissions will undergo a peer review process.
Film Matters is published by Intellect with support from the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

Louisiana is the home of beignets, southern elegance and the unbreakable spirit of New Orleans—not to mention the setting of some of cinema’s most memorable moments. What better place to gather and discuss film? Jelena, Gabriel and Amy had an exciting and productive time at the 51st annual SCMS conference in New Orleans. Many of cinema and media studies’ top scholars were in attendance to participate in panel discussions, screenings and presentations highlighting the conference theme “Media Citizenship”, honoring the resilient spirit of the host city. It was wonderful to see so many of our authors, a dozen editors and scores of contributors in attendance. Thanks to all who came by to discuss your work with us and learn more about Intellect’s expanding film and media studies portfolio. We look forward to seeing you again in Los Angeles in 2012.
We are seeking submissions for an exciting new journal scheduled to be published by Intellect in 2012, the International Journal of Islamic Architecture.
The International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA) publishes bi-annually, peer reviewed articles on the urban design and planning, architecture and landscape architecture of the historic Islamic world, encompassing the Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia, but also the more recent geographies of Islam in its global dimensions. The main emphasis is on the detailed analysis of the practical, historical and theoretical aspects of architecture, with a focus on both design and its reception. The journal also aims to encourage dialogue and discussion between practitioners and scholars. Articles that bridge the academic-practitioner divide are highly encouraged.
We are also delighted to announce the launch of three new 2011 journals:
Short Fiction in Theory & Practice
